Tucked in Northeast DC, the U.S. National Arboretum offers a serene escape into nature, filled with botanical beauty, stunning history and iconic attractions like the Bonsai & Penjing Museum and the Capitol Columns.

The Arboretum is located at 3501 New York Avenue NE in Washington, DC. It's easy to reach by car, as the grounds are located approximately 10 minutes from the U.S. Capitol Building. Parking is readily available, or you can use Uber or Lyft.
Visitors can also arrive via Metrorail or Metrobus and plan their route using Metro's Trip Planner. Several bus routes make a stop right at the entrance.
